I stayed at the dorm hotel in a single room. It really did look just like a dorm room. The hotel is very cute and set up nicely. I only wish it had coffee all day. The coffee service doesn’t start until 8 AM which for me was pretty late.

Pleasantly Surprised!
I have to admit I was skeptical of this place due to the name but was pleasantly surprised. It was clean, well appointed, beds were so comfortable, and cozy, not to mention cute. If I am back in town, I'll definitely stay there again.

If you’re visiting a kid at Cornell, this place is well-located. Beds are ok. Price is very good. Bathroom is a little odd with sink in bedroom, not bathroom.
Lobby is social. You’ll meet other parents. Have coffee or a beer.
I stay here for location and price point mostly. And free parking!
